Event Objectives
The Energy Efficiency Directive (EDD), which entered into force in December 2012, aims to help Member States achieve the EU climate and energy targets through, among other things, renovation of the existing building stock. It has been estimated that when applied the Directive will stimulate investments and create jobs. If 2050 targets are to be met, the energy demand of the existing EU building stock must be reduced by 80% as compared to 2005 levels. This means that Member States need to scale up their renovation rate from the current average of 1% to more than 3% per year and they will need to ensure that all renovations are deep or staged deep renovations. They will only be able to achieve this goal if the necessary financing mechanisms and market drivers are in place.
It is for this reason that REDay2013 will:
- Provide a platform of exchange on the need for deep renovations and ambitious implementation of Article 4 of the EED
- Highlight the multiple benefits of deep renovations, including improved health, and related health-cost savings; job creation; finance/investment opportunities; climate and energy benefits
- Demonstrate through concrete examples of roadmaps and finance models that deep renovation is the necessary next step for the building sector’s contribution towards climate and energy targets
Who should attend?
Addressing energy efficiency in buildings will deliver multiple benefits, beyond the known environmental and climate ones. It will boost employment (direct and indirect creation of local jobs); public finances; health and health budgets and it will provide finance and investment opportunities. Therefore REDay2013 will interest all the relevant European Commission services, such as DG ENER, DG SANCO, DG EMPL, DG REGIO; DG ENV; DG CLIMA; Permanent Representatives of Member States; representatives of relevant National Ministries, representatives of cities and regions; industry; the construction value chain; Investors; Banks; Financers, and NGOs.
